@protecttruth > While many of us have been carrying about our business

Gosh, I'd like to, but you fucking cultists shut down my wife's business for two God damned years.

So fuck you, you want a fight, bring friends and stack the fuck up.

@protecttruth not a MAGA anything, but surely I hope you understand the difference between "science" and "scientism".

The flip-flopping on whether masks were helpful, or of those infected could be reinfected, or if vaccines would prevent infection (vs reduce severity of disease), or if vaccines could stop spread of infection, or if social gatherings were allowed... None of that was based on "science. "Science" was used as the basis to justify any authoritarian policy.

You think this is abuse?

I would like you to consider the following: that this is not harassment or unwarranted cruelty, but you are getting extremely honest feedback for the first time in your life.

I bought manga only once.
It was first deathnote. Perfect binding...

The pages started to fall off during my first read. never again :blobcatupset:

@NEETzsche
The "perfect" one is great for text only, but once you include pictures, that are spread over both sides at once, the "saddle" one is far too superior, since you don't have to force the pages apart to view them.

I have interacted with meat bags that have been more retarded. Work with a fair number.

"We have created an alphabet group LGBTABCD+ group which is everyone but straight people to display our inclusion of everyone."

"So we created a group that specifically excludes a group of people to be inclusive of everyone?"

"Yes, that is how that works"

@meowski @average_random_joe @billstclair @protecttruth NO NO NO you don't understand!

It's like how Germany elected a bunch of "Greens" to the government. They said "There's too much pollution! It's killing the world!!" and then they shut down all the power plants. Some people (nazis, probably) asked "Wait what? How are we going to keep the lights on?" and the Greens (European Intellectuals, always up for a laugh at stupid Americans) said "Imports, stupid! Pollution doesn't count if we can't see it!!" And everyone lived happily ever after and there were no drawbacks whatsoever to getting all of their gas from Russia.

@protecttruth @MAD_democracy
Why do you connect that idiot's fashistic politics to "science"?

Honest question here. You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

@NEETzsche @PapaPole @LukeAlmighty @caekislove @dave
I agree. The interesting problem is that you cannot really force experience on yourself just by making your life difficult. At least I don't think you can generally move the difficulty slider up a notch yourself to get more XP; maybe you can engineer it up to a point but it feels somehow like setting the clock 5 minutes back to "wake up 5 minutes early".

Like when parents try to toughen up children by placing hurdles in their way, at the right difficulty to be overcome with appropriate effort. It's training for the real thing.

This is why I oriented myself towards danger as opposed to experience, the latter being an outcome of the former.

I suspect I'm getting into philosophical territory I can't quite handle here. I believe we in fact are saying more or less the same thing.
